That's what it looks like. I could not even get it to power on, but another ham was able to get it to power on.
Most current Yaesu radios use a tiny mini-switch and a supplied cable for firmware upgrades. Are you using the correct cable and is the switch in the correct position. Refer to the text file associated with the firmware files and follow the directions precisely... step-by-step.
That's just it. I'm not trying to update it anymore. And we can't find this so-called switch anywhere on the radio.
Inside the Yaesu update folder, there is a .pdf file that, among other things, shows the exact location of the update switch on the back panel of the radio. Most of them are REALLY small!
That did the trick!
